y'all aint together.......yes

I was half asleep in my bed when my phone rang. I waited to pick it up in hopes that who ever it was would just hang up.

but it rang

and rang 

and rang 

and- stopped 

I let out a sigh of relief and tried to sleep. then it rang AGAIN 

'who ever it is, if this isn't important....' I thought as I sat up and reached for my phone 

I looked at the screen. Chris 

"hi" I said yawning as I picked it up 

"its only 1am" he said "why are you yawning" 

"oh I dunno" I said sarcastically "maybe im, tired!" 

"yeah well, wake up, because I wanna go on a drive" he said 

"and where is your wonderful brother matt at this hour" I asked in an annoyingly formal way 

"my dear brother has stated that he is the one who pays for gas. and that he is not too fond of going to get said gas right now" he said mimicking how I was talking before 

"bro think before you speak" I laughed 

"you started the formal thing" he said defensively "so are you gonna come get me....." he asked hopefully 

"you do know I pay for gas too right" I laughed as I got out of my bed 

"yeah but I know that you fill up your tank on Saturdays, Wednesdays and sometimes Mondays" he said 

"ahh the beauty of walking instead of driving" I sighed as I put him on speaker and threw a hoodie on 

"So what im hearing is..... yes?" he asked 

"bye chris" I laughed getting ready to hang up 

"hey its Wednesday, so you either have no gas or a full tank" he said before I hung up 

I grabbed my keys slipped my shoes on and left my house. 

the drive from my place to theirs is short. ten minutes or so

CHRIS POV 

I was patiently waiting for y/n to text me "im here" 

even tho she hung up I knew that she was gonna show up the second I asked, she will never refuse a night drive. 

then my phone went off 

"im here jackass" 

I smiled at the message and left my room 

 once I got up the stairs I opened matts door "im leaving" I said 

"where?" he asked confused spinning to face me in his desk chair 

"out with y/n" I said 

he gave me a suspicious look "ok..." he said slowly 

"ok" I said in the same tone 

....

"hey" I grinned getting into y/ns car 

"you're paying for my gas" she smiled as she pulled out of the driveway 

"ok" I said nodding my head 

"do you not have to do anything tomorrow" she chuckled as she made a left turn "why are you up at 1am on a Wednesday" 

"who isn't awake at 1am on a Wednesday" I joked "weirdos" I said looking out the window 

she gave me a side eye and then turned up the music 

"y/n I really dont wanna listen to your sad music right now" I whined 

"you said lets go for a late night drive" she smiled "im gonna play whatever music I want" she said 

"I let you play ur music" I said "and im paying for gas" I shook my head 

"you're just so amazing" she chuckled reaching over and messing up my hair 

I just smiled at her, she pulled into the gas station and we both got out of the car 

"I hope you have money that's burning a hole in your pocket" she chuckled 

"only if you give me ten bucks to go buy a Pepsi" I said holding my wallet 

"im making you pay for my gas and all you want is a Pepsi" she said 

I nodded my head 

"deal" she chuckled taking her card out of her pocket, we swapped cards and I went inside 

....

we'd been driving around for about 20 minutes

talking a little here and there but mostly just listening to music 

"oh I love this song" she smiled turning up the music

I just smiled at her as she sang the lyrics 

yeah, I like y/n. I always have. im pretty sure I made it obvious 

but in this moment I dunno something changed, I dont  just like her 

glanced at me smiling, and I think the smile on my face grew 10x bigger. 

I lowered the music a little 

"hey" she giggled 

"I think im in love with you" I said looking at her 

"w-what" she chuckled 

"pull over" I said 

and she did, she parked the car and looked at me "did you say what I think you said" 

"im in love with you" I said, I am shocked at the sudden confidence 

"c-chris" she stammered 

"I love you y/n" I said again 

she cupped my face in her hands and pulled my face closer to hers "if you're lying, if this is some practical joke-" 

"its not" I smiled "I love you" 

"I love you too" she smiled pulling me in for a kiss
